Order Type & Order Status
Please see the table below for definitions of Order Types and Order Statuses respectively.
Order Type |
Definition |
Site Digitization |
Site Digitization orders initiate the digitization of equipment based on the site layout you provide. Once completed, you will have a digital twin of your solar asset. These orders are typically only necessary when you wish to access the digital twin prior to receiving the first inspection report for a site. |
Standard |
Standard level aerial inspections balance altitude, speed, and granular site data, from high level inverter issues down to sub-module hot spots. |
Comprehensive |
Comprehensive level aerial IR inspections are performed in compliance with IEC standards. It provides highly detailed, sub-module-level granular data and allows teams to thoroughly understand the performance of each PV module. This inspection level offers temperate deltas and enables accurate sorting and prioritization of both module and string-level anomalies by temperature intensity. |
Overview |
An Overview inspection is flown at the highest altitude and allows for string, inverter and combiner issues to be identified. |
Construction |
Construction Monitoring inspections collect and analyze data on construction progress, helping you verify contractor reports, and identify and prevent project delays. |
Erosion |
Erosion inspections identify any signs of source, structural or surface erosion, as well as water management issues and vegetation health. |
Instant |
(For Distributed Generation only) Instant Inspections return analysis on self-collected drone imagery within a very quick timeframe, highlighting the most high priority anomalies for same-day remediation. |
POI |
POI inspections focus on the point of interconnection (POI) to ensure that the connection between a solar power system and the electrical grid is safe, compliant, and ready for operation. |
Substation |
Substation inspections focus on the substation and identify any issues related to operational safety and mitigate the risk of site-wide outages. |
Vegetation |
Vegetation inspections analyze the growth and health of vegetation across a site and highlight any impacts to power generation at the equipment-level. |
Wiring |
Wiring inspections analyze the health of your equipment wiring and connectors. |
Cracking |
Cracking inspections identify small-scale cracking via a unique set of low-altitude flight specifications. This enables identification of cracking which may otherwise be undetectable from traditional aerial inspection. Highly recommend use of M3T or M30T due to increased image-capture rates. |
